The Vietnam War caused the breakdown of many families and also a breakdown of the Vietnamese culture. Thousands upon thousands of children were orphaned during the war and ended up either in orphanages or on the streets without a home.
Many of the troops of many nations were wounded or died; north and South Vietnam reunited under communism. The reason that the US entered the war was to prevent that very thing. As the war went on, many Americans became hostile about the waste of lives and money for this war. Because there was such fervent anti war sentiment throughout the US, Vietnam veterans returning from the Horror of war and risking their lives often received no respect for their efforts. Many veterans developed psychiatric, drug addiction, and alcohol abuse problems for many decades after returning from Vietnam. A very sad chapter for American servicemen.
One of the results of the anti war sentiment was discontinuance of the mandatory selective service (draft), and President Ford gave amnesty to the draft dodgers from this period. Most of those who broke the law by avoiding the draft did so because they couldn't afford to attend college. In other words, the draft most affected people in the mid to lower economic group; people who could afford to go to college were exempted from the draft.
The Vietnamese people had endured the French occupation, then the French fighting, then the Japanese occupation (commencing in 1941-WWII), then the Japanese fighting (which ended in 1945-end of WWII), then the commencement of the North & South fighting that began to boil in 1955, then up thru 1961 (Special Forces-Green Beret entry), up thru 1965 (US regular troops), then up thru 1975 when the South was conquered by the North. What were the effects on them? They all became hardened people, determined to survive at all costs. Generations of families had been born and raised under the scream of artillery (cannon shell's make a high pitched noise when they fly through the air), and the thunder of bombs (a 1,000 pound bomb sounds like a "Thunder Clap" during a storm)...they learned to live with it.
What effect did the Vietnam War have on the Vietnamese? thats the same as the question silly and the effects were no homes no food no stock and stuff like that
Like Germans, French, Russian, Japanese, Confederates (Southern US), Mexico, North and South Korean's, etc., before them; they rebuilt and moved on.
